Nature Speaks 2024 Agora Gallery, New York

Agora Gallery is pleased to announce Nature Speaks, a group exhibition of paintings that depict the pristine beauty of the natural kingdom. The selection includes works on canvas, wood panel, and paper executed in oils and a variety of water-based media. Greens and blues dominate the palettes, whether found in the turquoise waters of the sea, the emerald foliage of the woods, or the parakeet and fern gradients of a hill, offering an immersive experience of tranquility.

Roman god sculptures conjure visions of decadent gardens, perhaps in abandoned villas somewhere in the Italian countryside, where wildflowers and weeds reclaim their rightful ownership. Beautiful gardens, idyllic escapes graced with resplendent blooms, a black swan, the fonds of a willow tree in a park–everything celebrates the magnificence of the natural world.

Even when present, human figures act out secondary roles, existing solely in correlation with their surroundings. Receding in the distant background, they stand as quiet observers. Free at last of its artificial counterpart, nature’s voice reverberates through the valleys, forests, skies, and oceans, unleashing its full healing power. At a loss for words, we bow to the infinite eloquence of the natural world and remain silent, for a change.
